Accumulated wealth is saved by spending just as incoming fresh water is saved by letting out stagnant water.

O see what a wonder it is! The doings of the great are strange: they treat wealth as light as a straw, yet, when they obtain it, they bend under its weight.

Save your wealth against future calamity.

We should secure and keep the following: the blessings of meritorious deeds, wealth, grain, the words of the spiritual master, and rare medicines. Otherwise life becomes impossible.

O wise man! Give your wealth only to the worthy and never to others. The water of the sea received by the clouds is always sweet.

He who has wealth has friends and relations; he alone survives and is respected as a man.
